hipchat-notify

A room notification - Room owners are able to create room notification tokens that can be used to send room notification messages, popular with light-weight, notification-only integrations.

Using version 2 of HipChat's API, this Node library abstracts sending notifications to HipChat rooms.

Installation

$ npm install --save hipchat-notify

Usage

Create a new instance of HipChatNotify for each room you want to notify, including the room ID or name and the notification token (created on the HipChat admin site under rooms->[room]->tokens).

var HipChatNotify = require('hipchat-notify');
var hipchat = new HipChatNotify(836305, '1nkUSmF8rH4QY1wMGj1rcelvtYKUG7rFteEv8ROZ');

hipchat.notify(str_or_object, [callback]);

hipchat.notify('Pastry I love cupcake fruitcake chocolate cake gummi bears dragée I love.');

The color of the message will be yellow by default, and will set notify to true. To change this, pass an Object instead of a String.

hipchat.notify({ message:'Pastry I love cupcake fruitcake chocolate cake gummi bears dragée I love.', color:'purple', notify:false });

The message_format is automatically set for you, based on whether or not your message includes HTML elements. Passing an Object instead of a String will let you override this and other defaults.

Examples

Other methods also exist to change the color.

hipchat.info('Pastry I love cupcake fruitcake <strong>chocolate cake</strong> gummi bears dragée I love.'); // gray
hipchat.warning('<i><b>Warning</b>: Cupcake powder lollipop bonbon liquorice croissant sweet.</i>'); // red
hipchat.success('Tiramisu jelly gummies bear claw brownie caramels applicake chocolate bar I love.'); // green
hipchat.error('<b>Error</b>: Marshmallow cheesecake chocolate topping chocolate cake I love ice cream.'); // red

Configuration

If you are using the hosted version of hipchat at hipchat.custom.com and need a custom hostname:

#In bash
export HIPCHAT_HOST=https://hipchat.custom.com
#If you are using a corporate proxy
export no_proxy=hipchat.custom.com
...
#In JS
var HipChatNotify = require('hipchat-notify');
var hipchat = new HipChatNotify(836305, '1nkUSmF8rH4QY1wMGj1rcelvtYKUG7rFteEv8ROZ');
